An Enlightening Commentary into the Light of the Holy Qur'an vol. 15
From Surah Saba (34) to Surah Sad (38) The light of Islam has
enlightened and continuing to enlighten every corner in the world and
seekers of truth have closely associated to the Holy Quran which carries
the Word of Allah (SWT) to humanity. With increasing focus and attention
to the Holy Quran, efforts has been done to provide a pure, correct and
accurate translation of this divine book. But sometimes it is difficult
for the readers to understand all of the apparent and hidden meanings
and it is the duty of every Muslim, man or woman, to read, understand
and contemplate on the Holy Qur’an according to his own capacity. Hence,
the need for proper explanation becomes obvious and necessary. The book
titled, “An Enlightening Commentary into the Light of the Holy Qur’an”
compiled by a group of Muslim scholars, under the direction of Ayatullah
Allamah Al-Hajj Sayyid Kamal Faqih Imani is a valuable effort which
presents a thorough commentary on the Quran in 20 volumes made available
to the reader.

Surah As-Saba, Chapter 34
=========================

**(The Saba)**

**No. 34 (Revealed at Mecca)**

**54 Verses in 6 Sections**

The Feature of Surah As-Saba
----------------------------

<blockquote dir="rtl">
  <p>
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ
  </p>
</blockquote>

***In The Name of Allah, The Beneficent, The Merciful***

This Surah has been revealed at Mecca, and contains fifty four verses.
For the explanation of the people of Saba mentioned in this Surah, it
has been called Saba and, like other Meccan suras, most expressions of
it are about ideological issues, and the Origin and the End (Hereafter)
in particular.

In the story of Solomon, of course, and his encounter with the people of
Saba, a part of the Divine bounties and the end of the thankful
believers and disbelievers are pointed out.

The Virtue of the Surah
-----------------------

Imam Sadiq (as) in a tradition has said:

*“He who recites the couple of Suras which has begun with the praise of
Allah (suras Saba and Fatir) in a night, he will be in the protection of
Allah, the Almighty and in His guard; and if he recites them in the
daytime, no undesirable thing will come to him on that day, and he will
be given so much good of this world and the next that has never come to
his mind and which he has never desired or thought of.”* [^1]
